Get a beating and more resistant than the fiberglass, the polyethylene seems to be a novelty that is arrived to be. This is Smart Cat, a produced catamarÃ£ shears smart Pier. With 12 feet, the sailboat weighs 65 kg, including candle and mast, and thousand is already for sale for R$ 8. The project belongs to Hobbie Cat.

Looking at the pictures at the Smart Pier site, it looks like the Rudder assembly and Boom kit are different from the Bravo.

Well from Matt's reply, It doesn't sound like it was a project they did with Hobie (which is the first impression I got).

The odd thing is you can see slight differences in the sail, handles and major differences in the rudder and boom. However, the hull looks like an exact reproduction. Could they have used a bravo hull, or somehow gotten their hands on the mold?

I think you are wrong.
This boat is sold in Brazil. It was present on the 2005 SÃ£o Paulo Boat Show.
I travelled to brazil last month and bought a brazilian sail magazine (Nautica). In their site I found a test of a boat that was similar to the bravo and they called â€œSmart Catâ€

Sorry to hear about this. I live in Brazil near Fortaleza and was looking at the Smart Cat to possibly buy.

Any chance Hobie will return to Brazil. From the way things look here. Brazil is not much for importing goods - too much tax. They seem to encourage manufacturers to set up business here and produce goods within Brazil. How much is a licence to say build Hobie Bravo here?
